The academy was empty just as Finkin had said . The three thus passed through various buildings and stopped in front of a towering wall .
"This is . . . "
"This is the west side of the airport," Finkin said as he brought a wooden ladder and erect it against the wall . "Follow me . "
Good hesitated for a moment before he climbed up the ladder . The moment he reached the top of the wall, an involuntary exclamation escaped from his lips . A swollen red sun was sinking low over the water . The glittery ocean splintered into flecks of gold in the sweltering sunset, and the sky was awash with sheets of blue and yellow . Layers of cloud sloped down to the horizon, below which was the vast emptiness of the airport that would potentially lead them to the sky .
Sea breezes dispelled the irritation that smote upon Good's heart . He closed his eyes and, with his arms stretched, imagined himself clasping on the operation lever while waiting to take off .
"A very nice view, eh?" Finkin said while grinning . "I found this fabulous peeping spot . Just be careful not to fall off the wall . "
Hinds asked behind them, "So . . . what next?"
"Naturally we should go there, but we have to take the ladder with us . " Finkin said as he pointed at the hangar not far away . They first saw the "Seagull" parked out there . The hangar was actually not very far from them as its edge was only about two meters away from the wall .
Because of the intense balance training they had received, they could now easily walk along the top of the wall, and reached their destination within fifteen minutes .
The hangar was two to three meters taller than the wall, so they could not clamber onto the roof . However, its windows and the wall were on the same level, so they could peep through the windowpanes while stretching themselves up on their tiptoes .
"Covered planes . . . covered planes . . . I saw them!" Finkin yelled .
Good's eyes followed Finkin's, and his chest constricted .
There were four uncovered biplanes in one of the hangars . Good's eyes were glued to their smooth and elegant bodies . His heart swelled with excitement as the knowledge that he would one day operate them struck him .
Who cared about knights? They were nothing next to an aerial knight who could fly in the sky!
Finkin placed the ladder against the window and clapped his hands smugly . "Well, we didn't step into the airport, so technically, we aren't breaking the rules . "
Good knew that was a pretty tenuous argument, but he could not help crawling into the hangar through the window .
To his surprise, for the first time since his training, Good felt calm .
After they landed, Finkin and Hinds rushed to the closest plane while Good sauntered behind them .
"Whoa, this is . . . spectacular!" Hinds apostrophized as he touched the plane . "It's metal . "
"Yes, and it's as thin as skin . Look — " Finkin agreed as he pressed his fingers on it, and a dent immediately appeared on the surface . "I wonder how they made it . "
"Oi, take it easy . You don't want to break it . "
"Don't worry . It's quite bouncy . "
"Really? Let me try . . . "
Good did not marvel at the plane like his two friends . Instead, he crawled into it as if led by a mysterious force and proceeded to the front of the aircraft .
According to the illustration on the cover of the Flight Manual, this was the exact spot Princess Tilly was sitting at while soaring above the continent and the sea .
Good thus sat in the pilot seat .
So this was the world in an aerial knight's eyes .
The wings above and the carriage on both sides obscured half of his vision, which forced Good to look straight ahead . He could even smell the leather chair . The flight instruments were encased in clear glass . Both the operation lever and the pedals were made of metal, the top part of the lever was wrapped in soft fabrics that afforded a nice, comfortable touch .
Good grabbed the lever and geared down . The lever creaked .
Unlike the wooden lever he had been practicing with, Good did feel he was pulling something . The quivering steel string and the increasingly heavy lever told him that the sensation was real .
